  2. Rupture disc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupture_disc

    A rupture disc (burst) Pressure-effect acting at a rupture disc. A rupture disc, also known as a pressure safety disc, burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a non-reclosing pressure relief safety device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from overpressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions.

  3. Barlow's formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barlow's_formula

    Barlow's formula (called "Kesselformel" [1] in German) relates the internal pressure that a pipe [2] can withstand to its dimensions and the strength of its material.This approximate formula is named after Peter Barlow, an English mathematician.

  4. Scott Air-Pak SCBA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Air-Pak_SCBA

    The burst pressure for the tri-dimensional burst disk used in the Scott is 4800 psi. Carbon composite cylinders are made up of an aluminum alloy inner shell with carbon composite wraps and epoxy resin. They have a burst pressure of 12,000 psi, 6,500 without the carbon composite wrap. [4]

  5. MAASP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAASP

    The burst pressure of this casing is 5020 psi. 1.2 sg brine produces a pressure gradient of 0.52 psi.ft −1 (see Well kill for the mathematical basics of hydrostatic heads). Therefore, the column of brine produces a pressure difference between top and bottom of 2116 psi.

  6. Surge control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surge_control

    A rupture disc, also known as a burst disc, bursting disc, or burst diaphragm, is a onetime use, non-resealing pressure relief device that, in most uses, protects a pressure vessel, equipment or system from over pressurization or potentially damaging vacuum conditions. A rupture disc is a sacrificial part because it has a one-time-use membrane ...

  7. Fire hose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose

    The usual working pressure of a firehose can vary between 8 and 20 bar (800 and 2,000 kPa; 116 and 290 psi) while per the NFPA 1961 Fire Hose Standard, its bursting pressure is in excess of 110 bar. (11,000kPa; 1600psi) [2] Hose is one of the basic, essential pieces of fire-fighting equipment. It is necessary to convey water either from an open ...

  8. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Pressure is an expression of the force required to stop a fluid from expanding, and is usually stated in terms of force per unit area. A pressure sensor usually acts as a transducer; it generates a signal as a function of the pressure imposed. Pressure sensors can vary drastically in technology, design, performance, application suitability and ...

  9. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    In medicine, hydrostatic pressure in blood vessels is the pressure of the blood against the wall. It is the opposing force to oncotic pressure. In capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (also known as capillary blood pressure) is higher than the opposing “colloid osmotic pressure” in blood—a “constant” pressure primarily produced by ...
